The Canary Islands Association of Motorhomes and Campervans (ACAT) has formally requested Arona Town Hall to explain the legal basis for signs restricting certain public parking spaces to cars and motorcycles only. ACAT submitted a written request for access to administrative files, technical reports, and legal documentation behind the signs installed in Los Cristianos and other areas. The association stated it is not challenging the council's authority but wants to ensure compliance with legality, proportionality, and equal treatment. As of writing, Arona Town Hall has not publicly responded.

Municipal restrictions on free camping in Cadiz province are tightening, with fines reaching up to 200 euros. Free parking is still available at Punta de San Felipe, near Muelle Reina Sofía, Pascual Pery car park, and Santa Catalina parking in the capital, as well as at Camposoto (San Fernando) and near La Cachucha in Puerto Real. In Tarifa, due to high tourist influx, additional bans apply, especially around the Strait Natural Park and Los Lances area during peak season.

The article describes a motorhome route through the province of Malaga (Spain), focusing on the Axarquia region and the eastern coast. The starting point is Malaga, where a camper van can be rented via the Yescapa platform. The route includes visits to the 'white villages' of Comares and Frigiliana, viewpoints (e.g., Mirador del Cerro de la Cruz in Nerja), and beaches of Nerja, Torre del Mar, and Algarrobo. It notes that traveling by motorhome allows flexible stops and opportunities to explore local gastronomy (fish, olive oil, almonds, wines).

The episode highlights the growth of motorhome tourism in Lleida: the number of dedicated motorhome spaces in the province rose from 11 in 2022 to 6,739 in 2023.
